two random things of Microsoft Exchange

1. An outside address in a Microsoft Exchange distribution list, beyond the bounds of Microsoft Exchange, should receive an email address with everyone on the group CCed in an ideal scenario, but outsiders will have to respond to everyone en masse individually and not the group itself which might make email threads marginally messy.
2. When creating a new appointment, if you wish to be able to see if would be attendees have something on their calendars already at a potential meeting time, first click "Invite Attendees" and add the attendees. Then click "Scheduling" which will show off a timeline of when the potential attendees have calendar events existing and when the potential attendees are free.
